So it looks like only 5 HC's were let go. Interesting, i thought more would be fired. Although Caldwell will likely be fired pretty soon anyways.

Looking at next year, assuming Caldwell is fired, the following HC's should be on the hot seat

-Reid (Lurie seemed to hint at it in his latest PC)
-Shannahan (2 losing seasons and 2 failed tries at a QB- doubt he survives a 3rd in either category)
-Frazier (don't care if it's only been 1 full year)
-Turner (just barely made it this year)
-Gailey (questionable hire from the start)
-Lovie Smith (i think he's a little underrated- Angelo seems to have whiffed on a lot of picks lately. But a new GM will probably want their own guy)

Of course not all of these guys will be fired, just some candidates who I don't think can survive a losing season. Maybe Pat Shurmur too but i think Holmgren gives him 3 years.

Idk how I feel about Lovie staying. Imo it should be a whole house cleaning...GM, HC and everybody.

If we promote Ruskell from within, it won't be as big of deal. We did the whole "fire the GM, but leave the head coach" thing the last time. Kept Dick Jauron while hiring Angelo. So it's not exactly unprecedented in the organization.

I thought it was foolish to get rid of DeAngelo. They lost there Franchise QB and RB. Injuries happen. There is no way you could ask Caleb Hannie and Marion Barber to fill those shoes at the same level. Not the Coaches or GMs fault they lost there two star players on offense.

Like I've said before, someone was taking the fall. Angelo's drafts have been lousy lately. It didn't help that we had fewer picks because of the Cutler trade either, but he wasn't hitting on anything with the picks we did have. (Jarron Gilbert anyone? Dan Bazuin?)

If Cutler doesn't get hurt, with the way we were playing and the fact that we kept most of the games close even with our ****** backup QB, I think we would have went 12-4...11-5 maybe....10-6 at the worst...but definitely in the playoffs.

Any one else thinks San Diego Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia deserves a shot to be a Head Coaching Candidate? I think he's got a bright future as a Head Coach. He's put in his time and is a hard nose coach that is a motivator who will get the best out of his players.

I don't think Dorsey is interested in any job other than the one he has now. I think he likes managing drafts, but doesn't want to take on full GM responsibilities; and he left Green Bay with Holmgren, and went back as soon as he could.

It's almost too bad, because he's been the genius behind Green Bays drafts dating back to the Wolf years. He would be higher on my want-list than McKenzie. There was a time when Dorsey was the logical choice to replace Ron Wolf in Green Bay.

I wouldn't be sir prized if he passed McCoy on the depth chart. I think he might have a better arm and accurate arm then him from the highlights I thought. He also got some wheels too help us prepare for QB's as Wilson , RG3 and other runners etc.

I'd just stay in Cincy for another year. That offense is only going to improve with continued development of Dalton and Green...ride it out for another year and then cherry pick a job next year that doesn't involve Blaine Gabbert.
